REGRET EXPRESSED AT SHERIFF'S RESIGNATIN “Tt is with regret that I learned of the resignation of Sheriff Lee Mar- tin,” said County Attorney M. W.

With views differing somewhat on the order of succession to name a Casper resident to fill the office left vacant by ‘Sheriff Martin's resigna- tion, Mr. Purcell was questioned on the legal view of the matter. “The state statute prescribes that the undersheriff succeed to the office in the ‘case’ of death, resignation or removal of a sheriff,"" he said. “George Maasee is the regularly ap- Pointed and confirmed undersheriff undér Lee Martin's regime.

The state department was advised today that the communication had been handed to the soviet representatives at Reval yesterday by Consul | Albrecht. A N ET The text of the curt communica- tion dispatched July 25 has not been made public. It is, understood, how ever, to be a briegjnsistence that the Americans be wed before there can be any thought of better relations between the United States and Russih. The action was faken in the name of humanity and because all efforts to secure the release of the Americans made through Dr. Nansen of the Red Cross, have failed. What course will be taken by United States if the soviet authori- ties ignore or refuse to accede to the demands, was not indicated. The dispatch of the communication was timed so it would reach the Rus sians approximately simultaneously with the message went by Secretary Hoover in response to the appeal made by Maxim Gorky. The state department's message is regarded of. ficially as wholly independent of the Hoover-Gorky correspondence. Maxim Gorky, it was learned today, has telegraphed to John Miller, the Riga representative of the American Relief Administration, saying that the communication of Herbert Hoover as head of the relief administration with sin Driving Jap decided the gov- of Japanese workers from the ‘The foreign office, when in- it had no information concern- jing the reported decision of the gov- ) ernment. regard to American relief for the il!
